He received a "Gold Star"? That's a Soviet (now Russian) award ("Hero of the Soviet Union"). This seems unlikely, but if it is true, it should be elaborated upon. It is much more likely that he was the recipeient of Silver Star or Bronze Star (US decorations).

I think the author has confused two Charles Jacksons. The man who was a prisoner of war was born in Petersburg, Virginia in 1898 and died in 1970. His experiences are recounted in a book edited by Major Bruce H Norton, published by Random House in 2003.

The author of 'The Lost Weekend', about whom I am interested in learning more, was born in Summit, New Jersey, in 1903 and died in New York in 1968.

If any readers can supply a more detailed biography of the latter, that would be most welcome.

That is correct. There are two different Charles Jacksons. Error rectified. --Mantanmoreland 23:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
